I doubt it too, Warriors will already be up there before the snow starts...

They may not want fans traveling to Alfond, 8 to 14 now, doesn't sound like the changeover is going to be as far inland. I'll have to see what it looks like at 4pm to see if I'm going. I used to go no matter what, not so much the last 4 years

Game is on! Additionally, the dorms are staying open an extra night for students who don't want to drive home in the snow. Could actually see a showing.
 
Re: Warriors travel to Black Bear country for a pair...

Game isn't on for me, I thought it'd be slowing down by now but looking at the radar it looks like 5 or 6 more hours of this crap. got 8 to 10 at my house already. Not gonna drive 35 miles in this crap, I must be getting old

You are not old, you are wise. :D Up in the Bangor area, the roads are horrible, had the perfect combination of temperature and wet snow to ice the roads up good. This is a good night to listen on the radio.

Me too. I bailed on hitting a couple of my accounts today because of the snow. Normally, I don't mind driving in the snow, but I just had a bad feeling about this storm, the snow was wet and the roads were sloppy and greasy, and they said it was gonna be blowing around some as the day went on, making visibilty horrible. Just didn't wantto be on the roads in this.

10 minutes til the puck drops in Orono...GO WARRIORS!!! Let's make Maine the 8th team to lose a season series to the Warriors!!! 7 down, 2 to go...1st place is within reach!! GO MC!!!!
 
Re: Warriors travel to Black Bear country for a pair...

Sounds like the return of Merrihack. Is Da Costa playing tonight? I hope so. I wonder how much is knee is healed?, I'll bet he finds out
 
Re: Warriors travel to Black Bear country for a pair...

Definitely a frustrating night for the Warriors...Maine's D really clamped down...to have only 1/2 the amount of shots that you have averaged on the season...rough, rough night...and some STUPID penalites during the 3rd, resulting in losing Bigos for tonight...not good.

As for DaCosta...Just listened to a podcast at warriorhockey.org Sounds like yesterday was his first day on the ice, so it sounds doubtful that you will see him at all this weekend. Almost made it sound like his return isn't happening until next weekend at the earliest.

Here's hoping to a weekend split tonight...but going to be tough without Bigos, DaCosta, Flannigan, etc.

You don't get DQs for stupid penalties. Never seen a DQ for contact to the head, intent to injure and deliberate come to mind. Da Costa is probably lucky he isn't playing to tonight, I could see open season on his knee

Disgusting play by Bigos. He is too talented to be doing dumb stuff like that. Merrimack will miss him on the ice. He cannot help from the PB or from the stands.
 
Re: Warriors travel to Black Bear country for a pair...

Wally, the hit by Bigos was as deliberate as anything i've seen in 30yrs. The only other hit in this class was when Preston ran Tony Voce. Nyquist had been skating all around Bigos all night and really made him look silly a bunch of times. When the game got out of hand i guess it turned to open season on Gustav's head. In my opinion Bigos should sit for several more games if the commisioner is fair (after Diamond having to sit on a questionable call a couple weeks ago )
 
Re: Warriors travel to Black Bear country for a pair...

This weekend should be a good lesson for Merrimack. Maine is not an easy place to play just like playing out west in the tourney won't be.
 
Re: Warriors travel to Black Bear country for a pair...

Im a huge merrimack fan, but that game last night was embarassing, i have no idea who that team was, but the worst part was bigos actions. He had really been playing great hockey the past month and keeping his head on his shoulders, but what he did last night was horrible. I was really appalled as a merrimack fan and embarassed. Hope Nyquist is ok, no more pathetic response to getting your butts whipped than trying to injure the other teams best player, especially with our best player sidelined due to a questionable hit. That just isnt what this team is about and i hope to never see something like that again from a merrimack player. Hope the team comes out with some fire tonight, everyone has a bad game. I really hope Flannigan can play though his presence is clearly missed.

Yeah, the thing is, Lowell has had 20 lessons this season, Merrimack has only had six. So obviously they need to keep learning in order to go deep in the playoffs.

Walrus...I wasn't aware of the situation...I just looked it up this morning and saw the DQ, but didn't realize the circumstances beind it...I hope you didn't think I was making light of it or anything amongst those lines...by the sounds of it, from Merrimack fans, it was pretty bad...Trust me, as a MC fan, I hate to see tihs type of action...we saw it a few weeks back with Da Costa getting leg checked (intentional or not, who knows)...and it sucked...at least the refs in this case did the right thing in the 5 minute major and the game DQ...this didn't happen in the Da Costa game in question....good luck to both teams tonight. Hopefully Gustav is doing okay.
 
Re: Warriors travel to Black Bear country for a pair...

Scaning the boxscore and I have a question for those that saw the game last night. How does the SAME player get called for tripping AND embellishment at the same time? (Diamond, 16:41 3rd period)

Benedetto, need any other reason?. Diamond got a cross check to the head from behind, never saw it coming yet he gets called for embellishment
